Mr Gaiman and Mr Hodgman discuss Audiobooks, and how much fun it is or isn’t to record them, also several of the dangers involved for the unwary.
ArtistMr Gaiman & Mr Hodgman In Conversation about READING
AlbumDimension of Miracles
I remember reading a piece by Harold Bloom where he explained that audiobooks were not books because the proper experience goes in through the eyes. The reading experience is only an ocular experience, not an auditory one. That had me sitting there thinking about old John Milton, who obviously was not a proper writer at all because he couldn’t even see what he was writing. He was dictating it to his daughters who wrote it down. What kind of a faux poet was he?
